After reading it, I immediately went and read other books by this author. 

It is a bit nostalgic as someone who is college aged to think back on the feelings and decisions that high school graduates face. But also filled with the whimsical, hope filled anything is possible regarding the future and friends :)

Maybe it’s ’cause I’m graduating in like two weeks but this made me cry and I kinda feel like I need to move to New York now??

Emma Lord does such a good job of depicting emotionally intensity of the brink of adulthood and the relationships you couldn't bear if you lost. I always love NYC more through reading her books (even though I've never lived there and don't need to). The friend group in this one was sweet, and I loved the brownie restaurant - would very much like that to exist in real life.

I enjoyed this book a lot! A lot of the feelings that Riley was grappling with resonated with me as a teenager in high school who's not sure what they want to do with their life. Not to mention, the fun and crazy adventures that they had in NYC were super entertaining to read about and made me want to hop on a plane to New York!

Book is ok; overdone epilogue ruins the entire thing.
